The Stožec ( German Tussetberg ) is a 1065 meter high mountain in the Bohemian Forest in the Czech Republic . It is located 2.5 kilometers north of the village of Stožec (Tusset) and kilometers southwest of Volary (Wallern) . The mountain consists of gneiss and granite and is wooded with mixed forest . It is the watershed between Warmer ( Czech Teplá Vltava) and Cold Moldau (Studená Vltava) in the south. To the east is the 854 meter high Stožeček.
The summit and the eastern part of the mountain have been under nature protection since 1990. The following year they became part of Zone I of the Šumava National Park . Its secondary peaks are all less than 1000 meters high. The most famous is the 975 meter high Stožecká skála (Stožecká rock) with a cross, Mary's chapel and the remains of a small castle.
Chapel on the Stožecká rock
The Marien-Kapelle am Tussetberg was built in 1791 by the blacksmith Jakob Klauser from Wallern. The miraculous image came to the church of St. Katharina in Wallern (Volary) after 1810 . It burned there in 1863. A true-to-original copy of the "Tusset Chapel" was inaugurated in July 1985 in Philippsreut , Bavaria . The ruinous chapel on the Stožecká rock (Stožecká kaple) was rebuilt from 1988 to August 1990. The Johannes Nepomuk Chapel in the Church of St. Katharina is now called the “Tusset Chapel”
A blue-marked hiking trail leads from Stožec to the chapel on the Stožecká rock with the 30 meter high south wall. A wayside cross is 300 meters away.
